Paul Rosenberg ~ The Good Guys Are Not Coming To Save Us

The Daily Sheeple April 26 2013

Federal government of the United StatesA lot of Americans know that the US government is out of control. Anyone who has cared enough to study the US Constitution even a little knows this. Still, very few of these people are taking any significant action, and largely because of one error: They are waiting for “the good guys” to show up and fix things.

Some think that certain groups of politicians will pull it together and fix things, or that one magnificent politician will ride in to fix things. Others think that certain members of the military will step in and slap the politicians back into line. And, I’m sure there are other variations.

There are several problems with this. I’ll start with the small issues:

  1. It doesn’t happen. A lot of good people have latched on to one grand possibility after another, waiting for a good guy to save the day, and it just doesn’t happen. Thousands of hours of reading, writing and waiting are burned with each new “great light” who comes along with a promise to run the system in the “right” way, and give us liberty and truth. (Or whatever.) Lots of decent folks grab on to one pleasant dream after another, only to end up right back where they started… but poorer in time, energy and finances.
  2. Hope is a scam. It’s a dream of someday, somehow, getting something for nothing. People who hope do not act – they wait for other people to act. Hope is a tool to neuter a natural opposition: they sit and hope, and never act against you. Even the biblical meaning of hope is something more like expectation (or sometimes waiting) than the modern use of hope.
  3. Petitioning an abuser for compassion. The “good guys” are considered to be a few people inside the abusive government. But if the good guys were really good, wouldn’t they have dissociated themselves with an abuser some time ago? By pleading for the good guys to rise up, people are asking one sub-group of the abusers to save them from the rest of the abusers. However, they all work for the same operation; they all get paid out of the same offices; according to the same rulebook. And if the good guys are so willing to turn against their employers, why would they have waited until now?
  4. Movies. We all grew up in the company of movie heroes who rode in at the last minute to save the noble victims. From John Wayne to Star Trek to Bruce Willis, the story line differs little. These are pleasant stories, of course, but cinema is not reality, and hoping for it to become reality is something that we should get over prior to adulthood.

But, as I say, those are the smaller issues. Let’s move on to the serious ones.

The Magic System

A lot of Americans believe that the American “Founders” created a system that automatically fixes itself. They talk about the “balance of powers,” and think that it will always save them from a tyrant. The balanced powers of the US Constitution, however, were trashed within fifteen years and doubly-trashed just a century ago.

In the Constitution, the states balanced the power of the national government (the one now in Washington, DC.) Not only did the states control half of the legislature, but they decided if and how they would implement the edicts of the national government. And that included deciding whether a law was constitutional or not.

This changed in 1803 with the Marbury v. Madison ruling. This ruling – taught as a work of genius in American schools – was a fraud against the US Constitution. In it, the Supreme Court held that they understood the Constitution better than James Madison, the man who wrote it!

But worse than even this, they held – with absolutely no basis – that it was they who would decide what was constitutional or not. The states were tossed aside. Even the sitting President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, called it “a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.”

Marbury’s Judicial review (the Supremes ruling on constitutionality) merely involves one branch of the national government providing a check on the other branches of the national government. After Marbury, no one could check the national government.

Washington DC was unleashed with Marbury v. Madison. What made it almighty was the 17th Amendment of 1913, which took the powers of the states and transferred them to Washington, by mandating the popular election of senators.

With senators being elected directly by the populace, the states were cut-out of the equation. In their place, political parties gained massive power, and nearly all power was consolidated in the city of Washington.

And so it is today. Washington is an unfettered beast. The system will NOT fix itself; the mechanisms to do that were lost a long time ago.

The Easy Way Out

Standing up against a beast like Washington DC is scary, to be sure. Understandably, not many people want to do such a thing. But if the beast is abusing you, what other choice do you have? You can certainly avoid or evade the beast, but we all know that the beast hurts people it catches avoiding it, so the risk of doing this isn’t zero either.

So, what’s a person to do? They hate their abuse, but outright disobedience would be scary. Unfortunately, many people have come up with a third option: Get someone else to do it for you.

Lots of writers have done this, for example: Write flamboyantly about the abuses people face and stir them to “rise up against the power.” Fairly seldom does the writer take big risks himself – he just stirs up others to do the scary stuff.

Something very similar happens to basically moral people who don’t want to risk pain and suffering: they imagine good guys riding in to save them.

But, as I say, these are genuinely decent people, and they are willing to take smaller risks to help the good guys: They will spend time and money promoting them, and they will even accept name-calling in many cases. They just don’t want to become full-blown rebels and outcasts.

The result of this is predictable: abuse by the political class. If the politicians show them a viable possibility every election cycle, they’ll keep voting their way forever… and the hero never really has to show up.

The Sad Truth

Let’s just say it:

No one is going to ride in and save you.

If you want things to get better, then YOU will have to make them better. YOU will have to stand up and take the arrows, yourself. Liberty, at this stage of human development, requires risk and pain.

I trust that you will remember the end of Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount: That it is not those who call upon his name who will be saved, but only those who DO the things he said.

Likewise in this situation, our only hope of salvation lies in DOING.

  1. I wish this article had made the rounds on every ‘lite’ worker site last year as we all got our ‘hopes’ dashed time and time again over Drake’s green light failures, Beckow/Dillon’s space ship space trip fiasco and 2012 disclosure, the galactic federation’s white hats mass arrests, the mass ascension hype, and the list goes on. We were and still are too quick to fall into that old paradigm of ‘someone will rescue us, someone else will fix it. But I guess it’s easy to do that when you feel like you’re the only one. However sites like this show that we are not alone, and that there is strength in numbers. More and more people are waking up from the lies that ‘the powers that were’ used for so long to keep us enslaved. I’m looking forward to all of the awakened coming together and transforming that mass awakening into mass actions of resistance and change.For me it has meant not falling for the mainstream propaganda and tuning out mainstream media. It’s meant no longer contributing to my 401k so Wall Street can steal my money. It’s meant closing my wells fargo checking account and using a local credit union. It’s meant buying a little bit of precious metals every payday. If others taking small actions like this, they eventually have a mass impact. Eventually it will grow to the point where the majority are no longer manipulated by fear, leading to mass non-compliance and eventually turning our backs on the failed system status quo. Who knows…

    1. You hit the nail in the head! Doing these things are a disconnect from the system that enslaves millions in this society. Thinking rioting and civil disobedience is not the way to bringing the system down. But disconnecting from it is. I quietly go about my business doing exactly what you just talked about. I by silver every paycheck, as much as possible. I know that this will have a bigger effect on the house of cards and I know that sharing what I’m doing is having an affect on the system. So quiet she goes, the system won’t know what hit it before long.
      Thank you for sharing your words I hope that others take notes and start doing he same so we take this fiat scam down. Quietly and without violence, May 1st pledge to buy as much silver or gold to show these bastards that we know what’s going on and that we are on to there scam, and we will have a unified affect on the house of cards. These forums are what we need for unification of the masses. Please of to this YouTube video and share it with many of people, family members, lovers, friends, the person next door,just everybody! http://youtu.be/QGZ5f1G1Ep0
      We will take the system down quietly and without violence, time to unite people.

  2. Hope is an empty wish and does make the heart sick, actually causes loss of faith on every level. For years I”ve tried not to use the word hope. Wish is much better and magical. =)
    We are the ones who are having to make a choice in standing our ground which is fighting for our rights as humans, or giving in and doing nothing. Fear aside, what’s stopping us from standing our ground? Fear is just an archonic program that can be removed. =)

  3. If the meaning of the word hope has changed, then why do you use the old definition?… maybe when people have hope, then they have optimism.. if that is the new meaning of hope then it is good. Optimism is important.

    1. I have a new thought on this article.. it is absolutely cynical. No faith… if this is a trend then it has no future. Sorry.. “you have to do this, you have to do that”..if you’re talking about freedom buddy, then you can’t tell people what to do..
      ‘light workers’ (i dont use that term often) have a unique role to play in this unfolding of the golden age.. you may not realize it, but they are doing work.. they are making sacrifice.. in their own lives.. you don’t notice it. Just because they are not waving signs on the street (that is not their job) does not mean they are idle inside.. think of it like an artist. A masterpiece is not born overnight.. you need to wait for inspiration.. things don’t happen instantly, but they do happen in their right time..
      You can’t control everything.. but if you let things take their truly natural course, then everything would work itself out automatically.. you’re right, we don’t need heroes.. we need people to stop hyping fear and causing us to disturb our own energy fields.. we need them strong and full of love.. not excited fear. . this is a damn shame. People are losing their faith.. there are solutions to many problems which go unnoticed by cynical people whom want to sve the world, but they are too busy staring at the dark side.. you really have to let go and explore the light, and then you will understand where the real power comes from.. and the most potential. A hard thing to accept for a cynical mind… you are just so unaware of the fact that this is somewhat beyond anyone.. the ultimate victory comes from increasing the light in every human.. I believe in having balance.. spread truth and awareness, but don’t let it smother out your light.. that is your true strength.

  4. Agree. The constitution has cancer. Is it terminal? The doctors gave it cancer. We “doctored” it to near death. It is riddled with parasitic riders and amendments that make it appear ghoulish. In fact it is ghoulish.
    Needs medics, the cure may kill it, may kill us too.

    So, maybe the Marines are performing Semper Fi after all by avoiding their oath? Defend the constitution as it is, means defending the parasites that surround the strangled cocoon that is the basis of our freedoms.
    God help us.. Well, I did not mean God, I don’t really believe in god, but I do believe in taking matters into our own hands.
